Do I have to keep citing a source if I refer to it multiple times in my paper?
Answer
According to the Purdue OWL MLA FAQs, when you refer to the same source more than once in a single paragraph, and include no other sources between those references, you can include your citation at the end of the paragraph. Other than this situation, you should cite your source every time you reference it("MLA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)").
